The Lipton Cup is a symbol of dedication and hard work and it is appropriate that the man who presented the Cup to the Association, Sir Thomas Lipton, epitomized these characteristics.
In 1914, Thomas Lipton presented the gleaming silver cup to his friend, Con Riley of Winnipeg, as a means of promoting the sport of rowing in this area. Since then the rowing clubs of the Association have fiercely battled each year for the honor of having their names engraved upon the Lipton Cup.
The Lipton Cup is awarded each year to the club scoring the greatest number of points at the annual NWIRA Championship Regatta.
